"Beating smaller teams isn't easy at this stage of the championship. To win, you have to perform well in both phases, especially against smaller teams when you have much more possession of the ball, and that's against us. We hope to get the three points tomorrow."
"Football isn't explained, it's played. We have 32 points; we need to get back to defending as a team: do everything we can to create problems for the opponent. We've conceded goals too easily. We need to get back to being tougher on the defensive end."
AC Milan have regularly failed to beat the smaller teams in Serie A, costing them potential points at the top of the table. The problem began with a loss to Cremonese and continued with no wins against promoted sides. Recent form includes two losses in four games, while key players are absent and squad depth is tested. The club still sit strongly in the division and Scudetto hopes remain alive. Manager Massimiliano Allegri called for better performances in both phases, greater team defending, tougher defensive organisation, and improved prevention of conceding easy goals.
